User IdentityA fpm package can limit who has read or write access. We do it by storing user groups in sitemap. An identity group contains one or more user identity.
identity group contains one or more user identity.What is User Identity?In many systems that implement authentication and ACL, users are identified by username on that system, or user-id.
We allow multiple identities. People who are collaborating may know you by different identities, and we are not trying to create our own user-id/username system.
To identify another person, someone may use their email address. They may use their phone number. Or maybe their github or twitter username.
Similarly a person may not be interested in giving access to an individual but to a group of users, and the group may be identified by say everyone who has a @fifthtry.com email address, or everyone who is part of a Discord Server, or a Channel on discord. Or everyone who is part of a team on Github, or who has commit access to some repo and so on.
All these are called user identities. Example identities: “email: amitu@fifthtry.com”, “phone: +1-555-123123”, twitter: amitu, github: amitu, telegram: fifthtry, telegram-group: fossunited and so on.
All these strings are now known as user identity.
